1 Kings 14:24-31 English Standard Version (ESV)

24. and there were also male cult prostitutes in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations that the Lord drove out before the people of Israel.

25. In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.

26. He took away the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king’s house. He took away everything. He also took away all the shields of gold that Solomon had made,

27. and King Rehoboam made in their place shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the officers of the guard, who kept the door of the king’s house.

28. And as often as the king went into the house of the Lord, the guard carried them and brought them back to the guardroom.

29. Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

30. And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

31. And Rehoboam slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite. And Abijam his son reigned in his place.
